Assignment+1

=Assignment 1 Resource Page= This is a page to start your thoughts and chats about the first assignment.

My intention for assignment 1 is not to SCARE you or to FAIL you- I want to point out to you your own ICT abilities. This test is used in the UK and must be passed there before beginning teachers gain teacher registration. As such it is a benchmark for the level of ICT skills you will need for your first year in a classroom.

Some of you may not like the test because it is not based on Microsoft software such as MS Word- -this is deliberate as you need the information literacy or technoliteracy skills to navigate around the software, after all you may be in a school which uses a different type of computer or software than you are used to.

If you don't pass the test - -DON'T PANIC this just indicates to you and me that we need to work together to find a way for you to improve your ICT skills prior to you entering the classroom as a registered teacher. To improve your skill level may just require more time becoming familiar with the software or it may require you to plan some extra professional development type activites such as an adult education computing class.
